Eighty-nine years ago, Congress passed the 21st amendment and repealed Prohibition. The country breathed a collective, blind drunk sigh of relief. You can commemorate the presence of no sauce in the states by making some gin of your own, and you don't even need a whole fancy distilling system.

The HomeMade Gin Kit is $40. In the set, you get the juniper berries and spices you need to make a bottle of vodka (which you'll need to buy) into a bottle of gin. Makes sense, because the basic ingredients of the two spirits are basically the same. We tried this on our own a few months back and it wasn't too bad. So maybe with the help of a kit, your vodka-turned-gin will be even better. [HomeMade Gin Kit via Uncrate]
